Longcross questions
Do you work at weekends in Longcross?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Longcross?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Longcross. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
How long is a fan clean?
It takes a couple of hours per fan, depending on its size and the build-up. We’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What does extract fan cleaning cost?
Size, condition, access and working hours all affect the cost. Call for a fixed quote, usually ready within one working day.
Extract fan cleaning for kitchens and businesses in Longcross
A clean fan isn’t a repaired fan. Anything that looks worn or damaged goes on the report, and we also repair and replace extract fans. You get an honest view of the fan’s condition. If you have an extract fan that vibrates or rattles and a smell of hot grease from the extract, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Longcross, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A dirty duct upstream of the fan
- A failed motor or worn bearings (that needs a fan repair or replacement)
- An undersized fan that can’t cope
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Grease, kitchens and Longcross
Food Standards Agency records list about 9 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Longcross and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Grease builds up on fan blades and housings in kitchens like these, unbalancing the impeller. It’s Runnymede council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Longcross. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Longcross is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Longcross Church or elsewhere in Longcross, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Historic houses near Longcross, such as Botleys Mansion about 2.3 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Longcross is about 4 miles south-west of Egham, in Surrey. Across the KT16 area, we cover extract fan cleaning for commercial sites. Longcross is one of 395 places in Surrey where we work for commercial clients. There’s also a page for Guildford, roughly 9 miles from Longcross.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Book the fan into every full TR19 clean
- Never cook with a filter missing
- File the fan’s report with your other records
- Keep access to the fan clear
If the fan needs more than a clean, we will say so plainly. Fan repair and replacement are services we offer too, so you have one point of contact.
The fan stays cleaner when less grease gets past the canopy. Keep the grease filters clean, fitted and in place, and replace any that are damaged.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours where there are several fans or heavy deposits. Visits to a village like Longcross are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by checking where the fan sits and how to isolate it.
- Power to the fan is isolated before anyone touches it.
- We remove the grease from the blades, impeller and casing.
- We degrease the fan and housing, taking care around the motor.
- The fan is put back into service, checked and photographed.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Related advice
Different parts, different methods
Roof-mounted fans
Many kitchen extracts end at a fan on the roof. They’re cleaned where safe access allows, and anything we cannot reach is recorded.
Impellers and blades
The impeller is the spinning part that moves the air, and it collects grease unevenly. An uneven coating throws it off balance, so it’s cleaned carefully blade by blade.
Why it’s worth doing now in Longcross
A greasy fan at the discharge can spread grease onto the roof or wall around it. It marks the area around the outlet and leaves more fuel outside, which is one more reason to keep it clean. With notice, the visit to Longcross can be fitted around your bookings and events.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Longcross
Grease builds up unevenly on the blades. The difference throws the impeller off balance and puts strain on the bearings. Left too long, grease turns into wear.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- A fan left out of previous cleans
- Grease stains around the discharge
- A smell of hot grease from the extract
- Weak extraction at the canopy
If you cook for passing trade around Longcross station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
